Clients Are StupidI once had to train a client on how to use their new website. I said, "point the mouse at that button." They looked at me with a quizzical expression, picked up the mouse and held it to the screen. Can you beat this bit of client stupidity?

VT LibraryI work for a local news TV programme. Part of my job involves archive - either colleagues asking for footage from elsewhere or other departments asking for our footage.
We get stupid requests such as:
'Do you have any pictures of tube trains'
(our patch is London... we have hundreds of items about tube trains)
'can you get me in some colour film of the Second World War'
'I'm after pictures of elderly people dying of the cold'
Colleague: 'Where would I find tape 225?'
Me: 'It's between tapes 224 and 226'
Me: 'We haven't got any spare machines, use the one on Edit suite 5'
Colleague: 'Which one's Edit 5'
Me: 'The one with the big number 5 on it.
Colleague: 'I can't find the tape with my rushes on from last week'
Me: 'did you label it'
Colleague: 'no'
Me: 'that's why you can't find it then'
